A virtual database system is software that provides unified access to multiple information sources. If the sources are overlapping in their contents and independently maintained,...
We describe a very large scale distributed robotic system, involving a team of over 100 robots, that has been successfully deployed in large, unknown indoor environments, over ext...
Normalizing constant recurrence equations play an important role in the exact analysis of load-independent (LI) product-form queueing networks. However, they have not been extende...
: This paper presents a causal simulation method for incompletely known dynamic systems in process engineering. The causal model of a process is represented as both a causal networ...
As multimedia becomes an integral part of collaborative systems, we must understand how to design such systems to support users’ rich set of existing interaction skills, rather ...
